Abstract
An auxiliary steering control system in connection with an anti-skid control system for use in a motor vehicle with two parts of left and right wheels, the anti-skid control system being adapted to independently control braking pressures for at least one pair of left and right wheels and including a braking actuator for adjusting braking pressures to be applied to the pair of left and right wheels. The braking actuator is controlled so that the braking pressures therefor approach the target braking forces determined on the basis of the rotational speeds of the wheels. The steering control device includes a steering actuator for adjusting steering angles of the pair of left and right wheels in response to steering control signals from a steering angle control unit. The steering control unit determines the steering angles of the pair of left and right wheels on the basis of the difference between the braking pressures therefor and outputs the steering control signals thereto so that the pair of left and right wheels assume the determined steering angles.
